Got a icona smoke and they are excellent for driving, but not so much for walking. Maybe I need more time to break them in, but the feed back during the drive and the clutch feel like you mentioned is truly phenomenal.
I actually got a pair today! I got the Shift shoes in Asphalt. I'm learning to drive my first manual (a 2024 Nissan Z) and thought a pair could help, and they do! (I practice more with my beater 2001 Toyota Echo, which is a 5 speed manual) Piloti is the only major brand I've seen that offers Wide sizes, and I really, really need those. The rounded sole helps a ton, too. And with the Shifts at least the sole things out from the bell of your foot to the toes, so you can really, really feel the pedals. Super comfortable in day to day wear, too. I really can't recommend this company enough.
With mine I would definitely walk multiple miles! I wear them to car meets, walking around, pretty good daily shoe if you want to use it for that! Just won't be giving you the cushioning of a Nike Air.
@@5.2ltr Awesome, thanks! After watching the Throttle House episode, I bought a pair. I wear barefoot shoes (not the weird toe ones though) so less cushioning is better for me 😅
Very comfortable for long walks - I walked for miles (Kilometers!) in Milan in them, and for endless hours in Charleston, SC. Only issue is that it seems like the sole wears out pretty quickly from all the walking.
@5.2ltr of course. Recently, I bought puma speedcat made for driving. It was slipping on the clutch pedal, so I returned it. My car's clutch is a bit stiff.

Would it be comfortable to walk 2+ miles in these? Reason being I like the look of the white one, but live in a walkable city

Did you buy true to size? I received mine (12) but they seem slightly too big

hello... are these shoes work for pilots??
Not sure what footwork is required for pilots, but I am sure they work great for that as well!
Not for me though, I like soft and thin sole to have more flexibility
Their sole is thin, but you want it to be stiff for stability. But to each their own! At the end you have to feel comfortable!

@@AhmadNaveedKhan1996 oh damn! Yeah you don't want that to happen😅
good looking shoes! also seem to be sick for driving👍🏼
100% worth their money!
Do you drive Barefoot?
They're stiff?! Why tf would you want that, glad I watched this before I wasted my money lol
you aren't running, you are driving. Stiff soles are the most important part for that. The soles are stiff, the material on top is soft
@5.2ltr if I wanted stiff soles I'd put on my steel toes lmao how tf are supposed to feel the pedals
Driving shoes require thin flexible soles.
Racing shoes do. But politi soles are thing in the pedal area
@iclickog7096 what?
